Final KMS Flashcards
Sensitivity Vs Specificity
Sensitivity is the rate of a true positive
Vs
Specificity is the rate of a true negative
SnOut
Sensitivty/rule it out (negative)
- Highly sensitive test are good for ruling out a condition when the test for it is negative
SpIN
Specificit/rule IN (positive)
Highly specific test are food for ruling in a condition when the test is positive
+LR
Increases in the probability of a condition being present if the test is positive >1
The further above 1 the greater the odds they actually do have it
-LR
Decrease in probability of a condition being absent if test is negative <1
The further below 1 the greater the odds they actually don’t have it

Speed
Hemostasis Healing Phase
- 0-6/8 hours : can last 1-2 days
- Goal : Stop bleeding
- Cellular and vascular cascade from damage: local vasoconstriction: clot formation: fibroblasts drawn to area by growth factors to repair ECM
- Management by protective phase
support healing
Restore full PROM, prevent atrophy, maintain soft tissue integrity
PRICEMEM
Inflammatory Healing Phase
0 hours-2 weeks
Peaks at 2-3 hours
- Clean up wound site- prepare for construction
- Clinical signs: rubor, calor, tumor, dolor, function loss, swelling, redness, heat
- Passive movement pain
- Protective phase= control pain/edema, restore full PROM, prevent atrophy, maintain soft tissue integrity , PRICEMEM
Proliferative Phase of Wound Healing
4-22 days peak 2-3 weeks bulk of scar tissue is formed
- Rebuild damaged structures and strengthen wound
- Proliferation of fibroblasts–> drawn in by platelets macrophages–> lay down collagen
- Clinical Sign= decrease in pain, erythema resolved, no active effusion, increase pain free AROM/PROM, pain is felt at point in tissue resistance
- Management= controlled motion phase
tolerance of increased strengthening , create a strong extensible scar
Interventions= education, transition from passive toward progressive stress of tissue
Remodeling Phase
Few days to 2 years
- Modify scar tissue into its mature form
- process of collagen turnover/reabsorption and deposition
- Myofibroblasts pull wound edges together to contract wound
- At 3 weeks only 30% scar strength
- At 3 months 80% scar strength
- Progression to pain free function and activity- pain is felt at end range of passive movements after tissue resistance is met
- Return to function phase
Gradual return to full and pain free range then progressive increase in speed and neuromuscular control
Work/Sport related specific movements

Peds Manual Therapy Considerations
- Literature is not definitive
Physical, psychological, emotional response
Structures: less ridged/more flexible
Joint mobility changes with age and conditions
Communication
Ability to Gauge responses
Parental facilitators
Neuro impairments can be more involved than orthopedic impairments
Neuromatrix Theory of pain
- The brain and spinal cord are what produce the pain not the tissue damage
- Various parts of the CNS work together to produce pain
Nociception + threat= pain
Nociceptive pain
Localized and proportionate to injury
Nociplastic/central sensitization
Amplification of neural signaling in the CNS that creates pain hypersensitivity
Central Sensitization
Disproportionate pain
Diffuse Pain
>40 on CSI
Pain Catastrophizing Scale
- Rumination= attention
- Magnification = exaggeration
- Helplessness= low self-efficacy
Stress stages
- Stimuli from one or more of the 5 senses are sent to the brain
- The brain deciphers the stimulus as either a threat or non-threat
- The body stays activated or aroused until the threat is over
- The body returns to homeostasis once threat is gone
- Cortisol inhibits hypothalamus and pituitary
- Low cortisol levels impair ability to control inflammation
What are the cortical changes in response to pain?
- Size changes: body representation grows
- With cortical changes the discrimination usually gets bigger
- Sensation localization + graphesthesia (recognize a symbol)
Laterality Recognition
Identify L vs R
Top down
Cognitive based intervention
Bottom Up
Physical intervention
Cognitive behavioral Therapy
Thoughts, emotional responses, physiological and behavioral responses interact and influence eachother
- PT needs to de-educate and then reeducate based on the understanding of pts true beliefs
- USE METAPHORSS , use layman’s terms, they aren’t alone
In what order do these things go into from low to high
A. L/R judgment
b. Observing
C. Imagining Movement
D. Physical movement Activities
E. mirror
Starting at Low: observing –> L/R judgement –> Imagining movements–> mirror–> physical movements/activities : high
How is conventional radiographic image created and what are the basic equipment components?
Requires: X-ray source, patient, image receptor
- X-rays have shorter wavelengths, manmade
- Image receptors- film, modem, fluorescent screen
Electrodes from cathode and anode
Primary radiation= patient attenuates the beam
Concepts of radiodensity, radiolucency, shading of various tissues/materials on radiograph: including identifying on radiographs
Radiodensity= combo of physical qualities of an object that determine how much radiation it absorbs from the x-ray beam
- ## Composition and thickness determine density ( thicker has more radiodensity vs thinner)
Tissues are Five major Compositions
Air
Fat
Water
Bone
Metal
Air= black most radiolucent
Fat= grey/black
Water=grey
Bone= white
Metal= radiopaque- whitest on image
1.Radiolucent
2. Radiopaque
3. Radiodense
1.Easily penetrated
2. impenetrable
3. increase radiodensity (calcification)
Routine radiography examination, series, patient positions , and projections
Patient positions
- Upright, seated supine, erect, Trendelenburg
- Seated and supine most common
Anteriorposterior/ PA x-ray
Supine/ Standing
Good for chest, want heart and lungs closest to receptor
Lateral X-ray
Left or right side closer to receptor
Oblique X-ray
45 degrees between AP and lateral
- Position named by side of the trunk touching the receptor
- AP and PA oblique
What is the Search pattern and What does the “ABCS” mean?
- Search pattern= describes the methodology of looking at an image in an organized fashion, helps ensure that everything possible to see has been accounted for, equivalent to gathering data
A= alignment - anatomy + normal structures/landmarks (bone, organn, BV)
B= Bone Density- fracture, dislocation, deformity
C= cartilage- integrity, thickness, alignment, spacing
S= soft tissue- symmetry, masses, enlarge lymph nodes, cysts
A= Alignment
A: Alignment
Alignment analysis includes evaluation of each item in the following three lists.
- General Skeletal Architecture
Assess gross normal size, appearance, and number of bones. - General Contour of Bone
- Smooth continuous cortical outlines
- Abnormalities- cortical, avulsions, impaction fractures, spurs, markings of past surgical sites - Alignment of Bones Relative to Adjacent Bones
Assess articulating bones for normal positional relationships.
- Abnormalities= fractures, joint subluxation or dislocation
B= Bone Density
General bone density- sufficient contrast, shades of gray soft tissue and bones, enough contrast within each bone, between cortical shelf and cancellous center
- Abnormalities= general loss of bone density- bad contrast, thinning or absence of cortical margins
Textual Abnormalities= appearance of trabeculae altered= may look thin, lacy, delicate, coarsened, smudged, fluffy
Local bone density changes= sclerosis in areas with increased stress, like weight bearing surfaces or ligament/tendon attachments
- Abnormalities= excessive sclerosis, reactive sclerosis that walls off lesions, osteophytes
C= Cartilage
C: Cartilage Spaces
Joint space Width- well preserved - means normal cartilage/disc thickness
- Abnormalities= decreased joint space- could imply degenerative or traumatic
Subchondral Bone- smooth surface
-Abnormalities= excessive sclerosis, erosion
Epiphyseal Plates- normal size relative to epiphysis and skeletal age
- Abnormalities= compare contralateral for changes in thickness
S= Soft Tissue
Muscle- normal size
-Abnormalities= gross wasting or swelling
Fat pads and fat lines- radiolucent crescent parallel to bone, radiolucent lines parallels to length of muscle
- Abnormalities= displacement of fat pads into soft tissue= joint effusion; elevation or blurring of fat pads means swelling
Joint capsules- normally indistinct
- Abnormalities=observe whether effusion or hemorrhage distends capsule
Periosteum- normally indistinct, solid periosteal reaction is normal in fracture healing
-Abnormalities= look at reactions- solid, laminated, onionskin, spiculated, sunburst
Miscellaneous soft tissue findings- soft tissues are normally water-density shade of gray
- Abnormalities= foreign bodies seen by radiodensity, gas bubbles are radiolucent, calcifications are radiopaque

What are the principles of CT imaging? How is it similar to radiograph? How is it different?
- Based on same imaging principles as conventional X-ray
- Employs X-rays that are attenuated by body tissues represented in the image of 4 shades of gray
- Different= CT creates an image based on axial (cross sectional) slices, creating up to 1000 projects from different angles
What is a CT myelogram?
Invasive nature, inject contrast material into subarachnoid space
- good for postop spinal stenosis
Window Levels = Bone or soft tissue window
Windowing is the range of radiodensities displayed in an image
Soft Tissue Window= can see gray and white matter
Bone Window= can see cortical and cancellous bone
- what are some clinical uses of CT ?
- Indications
- Advantages
- Disadvantages
- Limitations
- Clinical uses in identifying subtle fractures or complex, degenerative changes, osseous alignment, loose bodies in joint, serious trauma
- Indications: evaluation of spinal stenosis, helpful when combined with diskogram- condition of intervertebral disc
3.Advantages: less expensive than MRI, less claustrophobic, less expensive than MRI, can image soft tissue and osseous structures in one series - Disadvantages: volume averaging of radiodensities within a voxel if pathological only gives one shade of gray, high radiation exposure
- Limitations: Determining histological makeup of imaged tissues, tissues with similar radiodensities may be given the same shade of gray
Principles of MR
Based on measurements of energy emitted from hydrogen nuclei after their stimulation by radiofrequency signals, energy emitted varies according from which tissues it comes from
- Use magnetic field
T1 Weight MRI
- T1 weighted images show great anatomical detail and tend to highlight structures rich in fat
- Short time to repetition and time to echo times, signals caught early
- Tissues with high free water content appear darker
T2 Weight MRI
- T2 images are grainer and emphasize structure with high free water content and inflammation
- Makes fluid brighter
- long time to repetition and time to echo
- very helpful in detecting inflammation
T1 vs T2 weighted MRI
What are the clinical uses of MRI? Indications? Limitations? Contraindications
- Clinical indications: soft tissue injuries, bone tumors, stress fractures, osteomyelitis, avascular necrosis, intervertebral disc pathology, detecting changes in bone marrow, arthroscopy for meniscal tears
- Best modality for evaluating disc herniations and other nerve root impingements - Limitations: not good at imaging cortical bone, time needed to produce image, claustrophobia, and need for sedation, orthopedic hardware is not ferromagnetic so could distort image, high cost
- Contraindications: magnetic field can lift heavy metal objects in close proximity, surgical clips, brain aneurysm clips, can displace clips, pacemakers may malfunction
MRI advantages
Greater contrast resolution for soft tissue, image organs surrounded by dense bone, no ionizing radiation, less risk missing disease processes because of all the sequences used
CT Advantages
Less expensive, greater availability, faster imaging times, less operator time involved in selecting imaging parameters, thinner slices, less loss of image quality due to motion, greater power resolution when imaging cortical bone, easier imaging of individuals with metal implants
How does an Ultrasound work
waves reflected from the body tissues cause transducer crystal to deform- electrical charges on opposing surfaces of crystal- negative or positive- creation of electricity- piezolectric effect

Indications
Advantages
limitations
disadvantages
Indications: tendons can stress test ligaments during inflammation of nerves, pediatric joint, developmental dysplasia can predict fracture risk of strength of bone
Advantages: high resolution, low cost, safety of use to modify the examination, joint may be place in different positions, can be a dynamic test performed in real time, able to stress ligaments, can apply traction, resisted muscle contractions or passive stretch during
Limitations: operator dependent, does not penetrate bone so structures deep to bone are not seen
